The Ed Brown Carry Extended Safety is purpose-built for people who carry their 1911 daily. The carry profile lever measures just 0.154 inches thick, making it the slimmest option in Ed Brown's extended safety lineup and ideal for keeping the safety streamlined under a holster without any extra bulk.
This safety features a lever that's angled slightly to prevent your thumb from dragging across the slide during firing. The double-angle geometry fits your thumb comfortably in its natural position, which makes rapid safety engagement feel intuitive even under stress. The extended length gives you plenty of reach so you can manipulate it smoothly without fumbling.
Ed Brown machines these safeties from solid barstock steel, which means they're less prone to warpage or porosity issues that can come from casting. The blued finish provides a classic look while offering solid corrosion protection. Right-hand configuration means the lever is positioned for your dominant right hand.
Fits all standard 1911-type frames. Keep in mind that this is not a drop-in part and requires minor gunsmith fitting to ensure safe, reliable operation. The engagement surface on the safety needs to be fitted to your specific frame's sear. Ed Brown includes complete installation instructions with the safety, and the work is straightforward enough for a qualified gunsmith but does require hand-fitting with a file.
This extended carry safety is designed to fit all standard 1911-type frames including Government, Commander, and Officer models. However, it requires minor fitting by a gunsmith to ensure proper function with your specific pistol's sear. Different frames can have slight tolerance variations, so professional fitting is important for safety.
The carry profile at 0.154 inches is the thinnest in Ed Brown's extended safety lineup. For comparison, the tactical profile runs 0.167 inches and the match profile is 0.247 inches. The thinner profile makes this option ideal for concealed carry where you want minimal printing or snagging on clothing and holsters.
The angled lever keeps your thumb from contacting the slide during the firing cycle, which improves comfort and prevents potential pinching. The double-angle geometry is shaped to nestle naturally against your thumb pad, making it intuitive to manipulate the safety without repositioning your grip.
The actual fitting typically takes 20 to 45 minutes for a gunsmith familiar with 1911s, depending on your specific frame. The work involves careful filing of the safety's engagement surface to match the sear. Ed Brown includes detailed instructions, and most qualified gunsmiths can handle the job without issue.
